Hidden Collective is dedicated to making our Services the best they can be, but we’re not perfect and sometimes things can go wrong. You understand that our Services are provided “as is” and without any kind of warranty (express or implied). We are expressly disclaiming any warranties of title, non-infringement, merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, as well as any warranties implied by a course of performance, course of dealing or usage of trade. We do not guarantee that: (i) the Services will be secure or available at any particular time or location; (ii) any defects or will be corrected; (iii) the services will be free of viruses or other harmful materials; or (iv) the results of using the Services will meet your expectations. You use the Services solely at your own risk. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on implied warranties, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

Liability Limits. To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither Hidden Collective nor our employees or directors shall be liable to you for any lost profits or revenues, or for any consequential, incidental, indirect, special or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with the Services or these Terms (including chargebacks and/or fraud). In no event shall Hidden Collective’s aggregate liability for any damages exceed the greater of one hundred US dollars ($100.00) or the amount you paid Hidden Collective in the past 12 months. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on incidental or consequential damages and so these limitations may not apply to you.

We do not guarantee, represent or warrant that your use of our service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free.

We do not warrant that the results that may be obtained from the use of the service will be accurate or reliable.

You agree that from time to time we may remove the service for indefinite periods of time or cancel the service at any time, without notice to you.

You expressly agree that your use of, or inability to use, the service is at your sole risk. The service and all products and services delivered to you through the service are (except as expressly stated by us) provided 'as is' and 'as available' for your use, without any representation, warranties or conditions of any kind, either express or implied, including all implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, merchantable quality, fitness for a particular purpose, durability, title, and non-infringement.

In no case shall Hidden Collective, our directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, interns, suppliers, service providers or licensors be liable for any injury, loss, claim, or any direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, special, or consequential damages of any kind, including, without limitation lost profits, lost revenue, lost savings, loss of data, replacement costs, or any similar damages, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, arising from your use of any of the service or any products procured using the service, or for any other claim related in any way to your use of the service or any product, including, but not limited to, any errors or omissions in any content, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of the service or any content (or product) posted, transmitted, or otherwise made available via the service, even if advised of their possibility. Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states or jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

SECTION 12 - INDEMNIFICATION

If Hidden Collective gets sued because of something related to your store or products, you agree to defend and indemnify us. That means you’ll defend Hidden Collective (including any of our employees) and hold us harmless from any legal claim or demand (including reasonable attorney’s fees) that arises from your actions, your use (or misuse) of our Services, your breach of the Terms or your account’s infringement of someone else’s rights.

We reserve the right to handle our legal defense however we see fit, even if you are indemnifying us, in which case you agree to cooperate with us so we can execute our strategy.

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Hidden Collective and our parent, subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, officers, directors, agents, contractors, licensors, service providers, subcontractors, suppliers, interns and employees, harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third-party due to or arising out of your breach of these Terms of Service or the documents they incorporate by reference, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third-party.

SECTION 13 – SEVERABILITY

In the event that any provision of these Terms of Service is determined to be unlawful, void or unenforceable, such provision shall nonetheless be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and the unenforceable portion shall be deemed to be severed from these Terms of Service, such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other remaining provisions.

The Terms, including all of the policies that make up the Terms, supersede any other agreement between you and Hidden Collective regarding the Services. If any part of the Terms is found to be unenforceable, that part will be limited to the minimum extent necessary so that the Terms will otherwise remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any part of the Terms is not a waiver of our right to later enforce that or any other part of the Terms. We may assign any of our rights and obligations under the Terms.

Liability Limits. To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither Hidden Collective nor our employees or directors shall be liable to you for any lost profits or revenues, or for any consequential, incidental, indirect, special or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with the Services or these Terms. In no event shall Hidden Collective’s aggregate liability for any damages exceed the greater of one hundred US dollars ($100.00) or the amount you paid Hidden Collective in the past 12 months. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on incidental or consequential damages and so these limitations may not apply to you.

We do not guarantee, represent or warrant that your use of our service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free.

We do not warrant that the results that may be obtained from the use of the service will be accurate or reliable.

You agree that from time to time we may remove the service for indefinite periods of time or cancel the service at any time, without notice to you.

You expressly agree that your use of, or inability to use, the service is at your sole risk. The service and all products and services delivered to you through the service are (except as expressly stated by us) provided 'as is' and 'as available' for your use, without any representation, warranties or conditions of any kind, either express or implied, including all implied warranties or conditions of merchantability, merchantable quality, fitness for a particular purpose, durability, title, and non-infringement.

In no case shall Hidden Collective, our directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, interns, suppliers, service providers or licensors be liable for any injury, loss, claim, or any direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, special, or consequential damages of any kind, including, without limitation lost profits, lost revenue, lost savings, loss of data, replacement costs, or any similar damages, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, arising from your use of any of the service or any products procured using the service, or for any other claim related in any way to your use of the service or any product, including, but not limited to, any errors or omissions in any content, or any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of the service or any content (or product) posted, transmitted, or otherwise made available via the service, even if advised of their possibility. Because some states or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or the limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such states or jurisdictions, our liability shall be limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

SECTION 14 – TERMINATION

The obligations and liabilities of the parties incurred prior to the termination date shall survive the termination of this agreement for all purposes.

These Terms of Service are effective unless and until terminated by either you or us. You may terminate these Terms of Service at any time by notifying us that you no longer wish to use our Services, or when you cease using our site.

SECTION 18 - SELLER POLICY

By operating a store through Hidden Collective you agree to the following financial arrangement:

15% Commission Rate on all sales transacted through Hidden Collective (this commission rate includes all charges and fees associated with funds being transferred)

If you are raising money on behalf of a charity, you must obtain that charity’s consent.

By selling on Hidden Collective, you agree that you will:

Provide honest, accurate information.

Accurately represent your items in listings and listing photos.

Respect the intellectual property of others.

Not engage in fee avoidance.

Not create duplicate shops.

Honor your shipping and processing times. Sellers are obligated to ship an item or otherwise complete a transaction with a buyer in a prompt manner, unless there is an exceptional circumstance. Please be aware that legal requirements for shipping times vary by country.

Respond to communications in a timely manner.

Honor the commitments you make to buyers and Hidden Collective.

Resolve disagreements or disputes directly with the buyer.

If you are unable to complete an order, you must notify the Hidden Collective and the buyer and cancel the order.

Reselling

Reselling is not allowed on Hidden Collective. Reselling refers to selling an item when you were not involved in the creation process of designing and/or making.

Interference

Interference occurs when a member intentionally interferes with another member’s shop in order to drive away their business. Interference is strictly prohibited on Hidden Collective. Examples of interference include:

Contacting another member to warn them away from a particular member, shop, or item

Posting in public areas to demonstrate or discuss a dispute with another member

Purchasing from a seller for the sole purpose of leaving a negative review.

Harassment

Any use of Hidden Collective to harass other members is strictly prohibited. Similarly, Conversations may not be used to support or glorify hatred toward, or otherwise demean people based upon: race, ethnicity, religion, gender, gender identity, disability, or sexual orientation. If you receive a Convo that violates this policy, please let us know right away.

Emails

You may receive a buyer’s email address or other information as a result of entering into a transaction with that buyer. This information may only be used for Hidden Collective-related communications or for Hidden Collective-facilitated transactions. You may not use this information for unsolicited commercial messages or unauthorized transactions. Without the buyer’s explicit consent, you may not add any Hidden Collective member to your email or physical mailing list or store or misuse any payment information.

Extortion

Extortion is not allowed on Hidden Collective. Any attempt to manipulate reviews through threats, intimidation, or bribery is considered extortion and is strictly prohibited on Hidden Collective. Extortion includes when a seller offers a buyer additional goods, services, or compensation in exchange for a positive review.

Shilling

Shilling is strictly prohibited on Hidden Collective. Shilling is the fraudulent inflation of a shop’s reputation by use of an alternate account. The intent of shilling is to make a seller look more desirable by increasing the shop’s number of sales and overall review score. Not only does it violate our core value of transparency, but it is considered to be a deceptive business practice by the US Federal Trade Commission. Reviews must reflect the honest, unbiased opinions, findings, beliefs, or experience of the buyer.

Providing Customer Service:

Responding to Requests for Cancellations, Returns, and Exchanges

Please be aware that in addition to this policy, each country has its own laws surrounding shipping, cancellations, returns, and exchanges. Please familiarize yourself with the laws of your own country and those of your buyers’ countries.

European Union Right of Withdrawal

Buyers in the European Union (EU) may be entitled to a 14-day “right of withdrawal” after receiving an item, during which they may return an item for any reason. The details of this right vary by EU member state. The right of withdrawal does not apply to custom items or certain perishable goods. Rights with respect to digital items vary by EU member state.

Cancellations

If you are unable to complete a transaction, you must notify the buyer via Hidden Collective and cancel the transaction. If the buyer already submitted payment, you must issue a full refund. You are encouraged to keep proof of any refunds in the event a dispute arises.

You may cancel a transaction under the following circumstances:

The buyer did not pay. (The seller may flag a buyer for a payment not received, chargeback, or canceled payment.)

Both you and the buyer agree to cancel the transaction prior to shipment, and you have issued the buyer a full refund.

You have decided to refuse service to the buyer, and if the buyer has already paid, you have issued a full refund, including shipping.

The buyer did not receive the item(s) ordered, even though you provided proof of shipping, and you have issued a refund for the item.

Both you and the buyer agreed that the buyer could return the item for a refund, you have received the returned item and issued a refund to the buyer for the item. (Refunding shipping is optional, unless the buyer paid with Direct Payments, in which case you will need to refund in full.)

Buyers may file a case for a non-delivery or a not-as-described item. You must respond to any open cases within seven days.

A Non-Delivery occurs when a buyer places an order and submits payment, but does not receive the item. The following are examples of Non-Delivery cases:

An item was never sent.

An item was sent to an address that is not on the Hidden Collective receipt.

There is no proof that the item was shipped to the buyer’s address.

An item is Not as Described if it is materially different from your listing description or your photos. The following are examples of Not as Described cases:

The item received is a different color, model, version, or size than is shown in the photo or described in the listing.

The item has a different design or material.

The item was advertised as authentic but is not authentic.

You failed to disclose the fact that an item is damaged or is missing parts.

A buyer purchased three items but only received two.

The condition of the item is misrepresented. For example, the description at the time of purchase said the item was “new” and the item is used.

Not as Described cases can also be filed for late delivery. In order to qualify as late delivery, the buyer must provide proof that all of these conditions have been met:

The item(s) were ordered for a specific date or event.
